The Latest: Inmate's attorney files for stay of execution

STARKE, Fla. – Here is the latest in the scheduled execution of Oscar Ray Bolin in Florida. All times are local:

2:15 p.m.

The attorney for Florida death-row inmate Oscar Ray Bolin says he's filed an appeal for a stay of execution with the U.S. Supreme Court.

Bjorn Brunvand said he filed the appeal Thursday.

If the nation's high court doesn't intervene, the 53-year-old Bolin will be executed at 6 p.m. in Florida State Prison.

Gov. Rick Scott signed Bolin's death warrant in October for the 1986 slaying of Teri Lynn Matthews. The 26-year-old was abducted from a post office in Pasco County, just north of Tampa.

Bolin was also sentenced to death for the killing of 17-year-old Stephanie Collins. A jury also gave him the death penalty for killing 25-year-old Natalie Holley, but that verdict was thrown out because of legal errors. Another jury eventually found him guilty of second-degree murder in that case.
